I'm sure many of you have already seen this amazing Gothenburg apartment that is for sale now by Bjurfors. I just couldn't help but to share it anyway because I think the details of the architecture, the materials and styling all are done so beautifully. Nothing is taking over from the personality and inherent beauty of the place itself.

Notice how that poster on the picture above is adding interest and opening up the room? So clever isn't it?!

Distinct details but overall bright and light.

I like how there's no fuss in a bistro style kitchen.

Exposed brick walls seem to calm rooms down. Perfect in a bedroom. Add some strong graphic details to add the modern touch.

Bare natural wood floors. How many feet have walked here?

See how cleverly this mirror is placed so the expression from the railing can reach you all the way to the hallway as you enter the apartment?

Love that they added lighting to the stairs here.

A few natural wood items and some greens bring life and warmth to this otherwise pretty stark room. Also, notice all the chairs are different styles which makes the room much more relaxed.

Lot's of light and a window seat to look out over the rooftops.

I think homes that bring some quirky details in architecture and old details like this one are far more interesting and likeable, but I guess they aren't the most practical to live with.

What would you prefer? Old with quirks or shining new? Let me know in the comments below!
